Layer has text inside in the sample above. I’d like to have it as a float.
You can use positioned layers (mentioned in the metafun manual but currently broken in MkIV)
but you have to place the layer with a float to reserve the necessary space.
% engine=pdftex
\definelayer[avoidasfloat][position=yes]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=avoidasfloat]
\starttext
\placefigure[right,none]{}{\setlayer[avoidasfloat]{\startMPcode draw unitsquare scaled 4cm ; \stopMPcode}}
\input knuth
\stoptext
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
Is there no way to place that layer exactly 8mm from left page border
and 110mm from top page border?
I really need the layer in that position (otherwise it doesn’t make sense).
Remove “position=yes” when you want the layer on a certain position on the page but don’t
expect the text to flow around the layer.
